Not sure if it really counts as foreshadowing, but there's a statue in Generations of a cute little MySim-looking character holding a box with different pictures of weather on each side. As in, there's a sun on one side, a raincloud on another, etc. I'm preeeeeety sure it's hinting at a Seasons EP.

I saw that. Along with the supposed trailer that was taken down for weather, im almost positive that the next EP will be Weather oriented. No surprise either... Pets and weather are kinda made for each other. same with vacations and weather. But we all know how well the vacation EP went for TS3...

I still think there could be the possibility of a proper vacation-themed expansion pack. As in, generic locations like they had for TS1 instead of real places where the main focus is adventuring. The way EA's going, they'll be running out of ideas soon enough, so they'll probably end up doubling up on some things that sold successfully in the past.Pets and weather make a great combination, I always thought that they were the 2 most integrated aspects of TS2. I'm also pretty sure that EP7 will be a university/education-themed one, in an interview for Generations I remember one of the producers saying that they were aware of how well-received University for TS2 was and that they were interested in redoing it.

But anyway, back on topic... I'm a little peeved that EA have strayed from their old creatures. Having an alien zombie vampire werewolf plantsim witch was extremely fun to try to do.

Re: The New Creature Is... UNICORN!!!

True, but I never really liked the werewolf from the Sims 2. Actually, the only creature from the sim 2 I genuinly liked was the plant sim.

Off topic:As for the sims running out of expansion pack ideas... well, how about an EP focussing entirely on alien abduction, complete with an alien SF world? That on itself might be a bit lacking, but if they added some additional smaller features, it could turn out quite nice. Or a carnaval EP? Basically the Sims 2 Makin magic, with less magic and more carnaval :).

Back to topic:I hope you can really own and recolor a unicorn too. White unicorns are ok, but black ones are much better :).

Another foreshadowing thingy. You know how you can get signs to put in your yard? In outdoor decorations? Well, theres one that is very very very University looking and one that looks like a sign a huge house would have on a farm, it has pictures of a a farm on it. Could point to University, Pets/Seasons

The Creature for Pets has yet to be confirmed, but the possibility of Unicorns exists within the leaked patch file. Although it would not be a life state for a Sim, there may be a possibility of Werewolves in the game. We will not know until they decide to release that info.

Checking my Trackback links tonight, I found a back link to the “Forums” on GameSpot, and noticed a comment left by a member regarding Werewolves.

Apparently at the e3 demo show they confirmed the werewolf saying this about it:

“There will be. You now would get a werewolf a diferent way you would have to go to the cemetary at night and go in a secret entrance in a cave and after u are out, buy the new dog bed called ”Ravons Curse”and sleep in it while a gray black dog comes.

You then have to be friends. When u r best friends there will be a thing to click that says ”offer to turn” and then u wait ti’ll night when u are a werewolf. the cure is get the irangu lizard’s dna to create the cure.”

Is it possible that this info was mentioned @E3? If anyone has any interview or link that confirms this was said, please pass it on to me!

I doubt that very much, from what i've heard on the forums at E3 - EA just talked about the console version and barely mentioned the pc. They confirmed there would be a new neighbourhood but it is in development. I highly doubt they would confirm the creature but give scarcely any information on anything else, the creature is normally the last thing we know about.

Also, this way of becoming a werewolf sounds so tedious. The amount of effort put into how you become a werewolf seems very un EA, the standard is you just have to become friends and offer to turn, like vamps. This talk about visiting a cementery and buying a dog bed seems a long winded way to meet a wolf (or black dog?). In the sims 2, didnt wolves just turn up as strays, i once had a sim who had a house full of wolves so as far as i can remember they were very common.

BTW The E3 video should be on youtube

Re: The New Creature Is... UNICORN!!!

Don't buy that werewolf rumor for a second. The screenshot that is shown would have had to have been taken from a computer. It is most likely PhotoShopped and nothing more. Anybody could say that they went to that E3 conference, make up this story and explanation of how werewolves work and PhotoShop that picture.
